The 2025 Federal Election: What Women Need to Know

We’re talking global ripple effects (hi, Trump), local policy gaps, and why silence on gender equity is never neutral. No jargon, no fluff—just real talk with a feminist lens on every platform. Tune in, get informed, and vote like the future depends on it… because it does.With special guest Joan Pratchler, MLA, NPD, Regina Rochdale.Follow us on Instagram @raiseherco and @scaries.podcast and on TikTok @raiseherco.

We’re here to tell you what’s at stake. And when it comes to supporting women—some parties are clearly leading, and some are barely showing up.That doesn’t mean we’re endorsing anyone. It means we’re paying attention. To what’s funded. What’s prioritized. What’s protected. And what’s conveniently left out. And parties are making announcements every day about their platforms, so we are sharing information as we know it on the day the podcast was recorded (April 15, 2025). That may change over the next days/weeks.
